reached into mitch mcconnell's own state of kentucky where mitch mcconnell had a hand picked junior senator and jim demint said i want my guy, rand paul, and fought mcconnell in his own state and beat him. that was a demonstration of the balance of power in the senate. and i think it left a lot of ill will behind. as we saw today in that not altogether enthusiastic announcement. >> not exactly crying when he heard jim demint was leaving. we're talking about mitch mcconnell. is this good for the democrats or bad for the democrats, donna? >> well, it's a mixed blessing, i think. i think on one hand he's a wonderful southern gentleman. everyone likes him personally. but everyone knows that he is to the right of just about everybody else in the united states senate when it comes to public policy and personnel in terms of going out there and recruiting other conservative republicans. it's a perfect match for the heritage foundation to have him at the helms. but i think in terms of overall, i don't believe this is going to hurt senator mcconnell at all. >> erick, for the conservative move

he put up ron johnson to beat mitch mcconnell because he's too liberal. he's leaving, quitting his senate seat, giving it up, to run the heritage foundation. we have other stuff coming up, but let's start with that. >> first of all, he's going to make a lot more money. ed fuelner, who is leaving, makes $1 million a year. demint has a net worth of $40,000. secondly, the leadership has tried to rein him in. they've said, you can't go out and go after these conservative republicans with really conservative republicans in primaries because you're setting us up to lose senate seats. now that he's out of there, he can become a kind of cross between grover norquist and the jim demint he always was. he can drive these hard right ideas, but he can also sponsor hard right candidates in republican primaries. i think he thinks he's going to be more important at the heritage foundation than he is in the senate. >> let me ask you about that, john. it looks to me not just -- the money is always a draw for some people, i'm not sure it is here. he would have been chairman
